I'm hoping this doesn't draw any negative comments, so if you don't like it, you don't have to comment. This comes from "Examining the Scriptures Daily 2006" published by Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania.
“Whether you are eating or drinking or doing anything else, do all things for God’s glory.”-1 Corinthians 10:31.
In everyday life, even in small ways, we want to show that we “slave for Jehovah.” (Romans 12:11) When making decisions, for example, we want to be careful to take into account the will of our heavenly Master, Jehovah. (Malachi 1:6) Difficult decisions may test our obedience to God. Will we then heed his counsel rather than follow the inclinations of our “treacherous” and “desperate” heart? (Jeremiah 17:9) As slaves of God, we must not become slaves of men. (1 Corinthians 7:23) True, none of us like to be unpopular, but we must bear in mind that Christians have standards that are different from those in the world.

(continued)
Paul asked: “Am I seeking to please men?” His conclusion was: “If I were yet pleasing men, I would not be Christ’s slave.” (Galatians 1:10) We simply cannot give in to peer pressure and become men pleasers. (Watchtower 3/15/05, page 5-7a)

Jehovah's Witnesses have the true religion. The best source for learning about this religion on the internet is their official website at:

By posting this you make yourself open to negative or positive comments. You cannot refuse negative comments just because you don't want them. Otherwise don't post just keep your comments personal to yourself. Since you made your preaching public I have a right to respond. You are an idiot. You believe in a bunch of unproven theories as if they were proof. You are trying to convince other people to do things they may not or should not do. I encourage everybody to disregard your comments.

It is good to be a slave to the Living God. We need to recognize that it's all His anyway. Glory to God who is the God of Salvation, there is no other.
Exodus 15:2 The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.

Not Jewish and Jehovah is not in my New testament, But do it all unto the Lord. My Savior Jesus the Anointed Son of God.

By the way, whatever happened to the world ending in the 1970s?

Watchtower freaks are not lovers of the Lord. You are brainwashed and mislead.

No thank you.
Reported. This is not an inspirational list. It's a question and answer forum.

Thank you, those biblical verse are very helpful for my soul.
Sometimes we ask God to help us and to speak to us, but them we don't open His word where he wants to speak to us.
Thank you for sharing.
